Where's the drain

Yesterday, I watched Herbie and Big Weld for a little while. My Mom was in the hospital so we walked across the street to visit her. She cant walk very far so there was a commode close to her bed. I sat down on a chair and Big Weld crowded up as close to me as he could. He took everything in but didn't say a word. Herbie on the other hand noticed that Gigi (great grandma) had crooked toe nails. Then he asked where her shoes were. Then his inquisitive eye landed on the commode. He asked what it was. I said it was a potty chair for Gigi because she couldn't walk very far. He said "where's the flusher". I explained that it didn't need a flusher because there was a bucket under the seat and the bucket was dumped into the toilet. He said again. "where's the flusher". I explained again about the bucket. He asked a couple more times where the flusher was and then he understood that part of the potty chair. Then he asked "where's the drain". I explained again about the bucket and that the nurse empties the bucket into the toilet. He examined the potty chair quite closely and asked where the drain was a couple more times. Finally, he understood how the potty chair worked and then he wanted to see the bathroom. I showed him where to look saying "don't touch anything". He studied the toilet and the shower pretty closely and then smiled at me and they both were ready to go see the fish tank. Big Weld never said a word. Oh, I just remembered I was going to tell K to look in their coat pockets before she washed them because they had quarters for the candy machine and I put the candy in the pocket of their coats. Well, I dont think that will be as messy as the gum was. Oops!!

What's he doing????

Today I had to go to the grocery store. I always drive past the store to the last driveway and turn in. That way I'm headed home when I back out of a parking space (not that that means I'm going home). Anyway, I was following a car that had it's turn signal on and started to turn at the first driveway so I started to go around and pass the car. Just before I got passed his car, he decided that he didn't want to turn there; he actually wanted to go down to the next driveway. I stepped on the gas and got around him but not before a police car coming the other way passed me and the other car. I turned into the second drive way and parked. I knew the police car was coming the wrong way in the parking lot and he parked behind me leaving room for a car to get between me and him. I took my time getting out. I was still sitting on the seat of the pickup and I looked at the policeman and said "I KNOW"!. He said what was that all about. I said that car had his signal on and was turning so I was going around when the driver changed his mind. Just then we had to stop talking while the other car drove between us. It was a really old man with both hands on the wheel and looking straight ahead. I doubt if he even saw us. I smiled at the policeman and raised my eyebrows; he smiled back and said "sounds fair to me" and we went our separate ways. The old guy never knew a thing. Now your thinking, the pot is calling the kettle black; but he was a reeeeaaallly old guy.

Competition....

There's a new 1990 blue Mustang in Mayberry. I have seen it race through town a couple of times. The driver is having way to much fun and has got to know that cant last. I think I can get my Mustang on the road again. This guy is going to take some attention off me for a while!

Say that 3 times....

I stayed with Herbie and Big Weld for awhile today while K took Violet to her piano lesson. We were trying to learn to say "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. So if Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, wheres the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked". Big Weld's word of the day was damn it and Herbie's was poop. So it started with damn it Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled poop. Once Herbie said poop instead of peppers it was all over. We got started giggling so much we never got past Peter Piper picked again but if you ever hear them get so tickled and laugh so hard you will never be the same!!!!!
